I already took a look into several times, but if I would able to use the Bravo-flightdirector as an example I wouldn't have said this. Syd's flightdirector seems to dependant on other things ( not always other simlated systems) so I wasn't able yet to use this. >If you want help understanding what the scripts do, and how they are > structured, I'm happy to (try to) help.

That's another big point of it - still don't understand quite right waht's the script is doing, how it is structured. > > The flight-drector issue is complicated because the generic > autopilot doesn't provide anything in this area.

But a generic flightdirector with comments written in nasal could help much more.
